I have felt so proud of my home state this week for standing tall vs. fascism. So today I created BEARHUG, a font based on the CA flag lettering. Get it for $20 at www.swelltype.com & I will send all proceeds to @immdef.bsky.social who provide free legal support to CA immigrants #weareallimmigrants

Just found out @citibank has abandoned their DEI program. 2022: "we see this as a long term strategy" and "these are not just words". Here is the new long term strategy for my citi card.

Letter of the Day: D from a Swell Type font in the works. Doesn't look like much, but you'll be able to dial in EXACTLY how serifed you want every letter to be! Having some fun with this one. #letteroftheday #graphicdesign #type #typography #fonts #fontmaking

A trio of Cs from a nearly finished font for @comicraft1992.bsky.social. You bet they automatically rotate! ( @glyphsapp.com makes it easy). #letteroftheday #typography #comiclettering #graphicdesign #type #fonts

Starting today, I'll post a single letter from whichever font I'm working on. Might as well be an A… #letteroftheday
